STRUCT MVEBU_PINCTRL_SOC_INFO(9)

💅 struct mvebu_pinctrl_soc_info(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is the page for struct mvebu_pinctrl_soc_info, and it's literally the little info-bundle that gets passed into pinctrl-mvebu. it's giving "backstage pass for one specific SoC" energy 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

struct mvebu_pinctrl_soc_info — the SoC-specific info that gets handed over to pinctrl-mvebu, no cap 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct mvebu_pinctrl_soc_info {
    u8 variant;
    const struct mvebu_mpp_ctrl *controls;
    struct mvebu_mpp_ctrl_data *control_data;
    int ncontrols;
    struct mvebu_mpp_mode *modes;
    int nmodes;
    struct pinctrl_gpio_range *gpioranges;
    int ngpioranges;
 };

like, that's the whole shape of it. every field matters, bestie, don't skip any 💖

🦋 Members 🦋

• variant — the variant mask of soc_info. yes, it's a mask. iconic behavior honestly ⭐
• controls — the list of available mvebu_mpp_ctrls. this is the roster 👑
• control_data — an optional array, with one entry for each control. optional!! so you can leave it out 🌈
• ncontrols — the number of available mvebu_mpp_ctrls. gotta know how many you got 💅
• modes — the list of available mvebu_mpp_modes. the whole mood board 🔥
• nmodes — the number of available mvebu_mpp_modes. counting them, fr fr 🍓
• gpioranges — the list of pinctrl_gpio_ranges. gpio ranges, slay 🧚
• ngpioranges — the number of available pinctrl_gpio_ranges. kept it consistent 💜

💀 Description 💀

so this struct is literally the description of all the pinctrl-related information for one specific SoC. one struct, one SoC, main character energy ✨

and here's the tea ☕: if variant is unequal to 0, it gets matched (AND) with the variant of each setting — which is what lets you tell apart different revisions of the same SoC. it's giving "same girl, different era" 🙈

lowkey important: the match is an AND, and the whole revision-distinguishing thing only kicks in when variant isn't 0. keep that in mind, bestie 🫶
